Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away, there lived a dragon named Lucky. Lucky was known for his love of good food, especially dumplings. One day, Lucky heard that the rabbit of Prosperity had a calendar that would bring good luck and prosperity to whoever possessed it. So, Lucky set out on a journey to find the rabbit and get the calendar.
On New Year's Eve, Lucky finally caught up with the rabbit and asked for the calendar. But, to his surprise, the rabbit said that he would only give it to the dragon who could prove that they were truly lucky. And so, Lucky started on a series of challenges, each one harder than the last.
Finally, the last challenge was to catch an orange that was bouncing around. Lucky tried and tried but just couldn't seem to catch it. Just when he was about to give up, he remembered something his mother had told him when he was young: "Luck favors the prepared."
So, Lucky made a basket and finally caught the orange. The rabbit was so impressed that he gave Lucky the calendar, which brought him great prosperity and happiness. From that day on, Lucky was known as the luckiest dragon in all the land and was always surrounded by dumplings and oranges. The end.
